Freshman Emily Gawlak played smart and kept the women’s basketball team competitive in her final game of her rookie year.  She earned her second Hawk of the Week honor.

Gawlak’s effort kept the #6 Hawks in the game the first 20-minutes of action against #3 Pitt-Bradford February 22.  The 5-8 guard sank a pair of 3-point shots, crashed the offensive boards and kept the Panthers on their toes.  Gawlak scored eight points, grabbed six rebounds (3 OR) and was credited with three steals in the 1st Round defeat in the 2017 AMCC play-offs.

At the conclusion of her season, Gawlak averaged 29 minutes of action, started 20 of the 24 games she competed in.  She collected 184 points (7.7), 88 rebounds (3.7) and 35 assists (1.5).  She helped the Hawks qualify for their 1st post-season play-off game in 11 years.
